multiple submit form in html beginform mvc

Question

Trying to make multiple submit form, but having error The current request for action 'EditAccount' on controller type 'AccountController is ambiguous between the following action methods. How can i fix this? Here's code

Attribute:

public class HttpParamActionAttribute : ActionNameSelectorAttribute
{
    public override bool IsValidName(ControllerContext controllerContext, string actionName, MethodInfo methodInfo)
    {
        if (actionName.Equals(methodInfo.Name, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
            return true;

        var request = controllerContext.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request;
        return request[methodInfo.Name] != null;
    }
}

Methods from controller:

[HttpPost]
[HttpParamAction]
public virtual async Task<ActionResult> AddNew(AccountModel model)
{ ... }


[HttpPost]
[HttpParamAction]
public virtual async Task<ActionResult> EditAccount(AccountModel model)
{ ... }

And view

@using (Html.BeginForm(new {@class = "form-horizontal"}))
{

     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-w-m btn-primary" name="EditAccount">Save</button>

     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-w-m btn-primary" name="AddNew" ><i class="fa fa-plus"></i>&nbsp;Add New</button>

}

I guessing your not understanding what your method parameters are or what your buttons are doing (and they need value attributes in order to post a value). Suggest you look at this question/answer — user3559349

Try this, It will work. Basis on name and value call the function.

.cshtml

@using (Html.BeginForm("ActionName",new {@class = "form-horizontal"}))
{

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-w-m btn-primary" name="Account" value="Edit">Save</button>

    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-w-m btn-primary" name="Account" value="AddNew" ><i class="fa fa-plus" ></i>&nbsp;Add New</button>

}

.cs

[HttpPost]
[HttpParamAction]
public virtual async Task<ActionResult> ActionName(AccountModel model, string Account)
{ 
  if(Account=="Edit"){
   ... 
  }
  else if(Account=="AddNew"){
    ....
  }
}
